ObjectiveTo examine the impact of Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）-mediated neutrophil extracellular traps （NETs） formation on isoproterenol （ISO）-induced heart failure （HF） in aged mice. MethodsThe mice were randomly divided into Control group， Model group， TAK-242 （TLR4 inhibitor） group， LPS （TLR4 agonist） group and LPS+DNaseⅠ （NETs inhibitor） group， with 8 mice in each group. The HF model was established by continuous infusion of ISO through an osmotic pump， and TAK-242， LPS， and LPS+DNaseⅠ interventions were administered during the last week of infusion for 7 consecutive days. ELISA was used to detect the N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide （NT-pro BNP）， cardiac troponin I （cTnI）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， and serum and myocardial tissue myeloperoxidase-DNA （MPO-DNA） and neutrophil elastase-DNA （NE-DNA） levels. HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of myocardial tissue. Masson staining was used to observe the deposition of collagen fibers in myocardial tissue. Immunofluorescence was used to observe the colocalization of Ly6G and MPO in myocardial tissue. The protein expressions of TLR4， MPO， NE and cit-H3 in myocardial tissue were detected by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the Control group， the end-diastolic interventricular septal thickness （IVSD）， left ventricular end-diastolic diameter （LVEDD） and left ventricular end-systolic diameter （LVESD） in the Mode group significantly increased （P<0.01）， fractional shortening （FS） and ejection fraction （EF） significantly decreased （P<0.01）， and the myocardial structure was significantly damaged. The myocardial collagen fiber precipitation， serum NT-pro BNP， cTnI， IL-1β， IL-6 and TNF-α contents， MPO-DNA and NE-DNA contents in serum and myocardial tissue significantly increased （P<0.01）. The co-localization of Ly6G and MPO and the expression of TLR4， MPO， NE and cit-H3 proteins in myocardial tissue significantly increased （P<0.01）. After TAK-242 intervention， the above indicators were significantly reversed， while the injury was further aggravated in LPS group. DNaseⅠ treatment could partially alleviate the deterioration of myocardial structure and function induced by LPS. ConclusionTLR4 and NETs are abnormally elevated in the myocardial tissue of aged HF mice. Treatment with the TLR4 inhibitor TAK-242 effectively suppresses NET formation， attenuates inflammatory responses， and enhances cardiac function in aged HF mice.

OBJECTIVE To comprehensively evaluate the quality of adverse drug reaction （ADR） reports in clinical departments or ward （hereinafter referred to as “department”） based on game theory combinatorial weighting-technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution （TOPSIS）-rank-sum ratio （RSR） method， providing a reference for the further standardization of ADR reporting. METHODS Based on relevant documents and scoring criteria， the ADR report quality evaluation standards previously developed by our team were modified. Using game theory principles， the fusion of subjective and objective weights for each indicator was determined. A game theory combinatorial weighting-TOPSIS-RSR model was developed to evaluate and categorize the quality of raw ADR reports submitted by departments to the pharmacy department at Bozhou Hospital of Anhui Medical University. RESULTS A total of 222 ADR reports from 23 departments were included. The game theory combinatorial weighting method identifies weak points in management， such as ADR symptoms and signs， the description of underlying diseases， timing of ADR， by optimizing the weightings of the indicators. The TOPSIS-RSR method calculates that the mean relative closeness of the departments was 0.401 7， indicating that the overall report quality ranged from moderate to substandard. 20095） Three departments， including neurosurgery， demonstrated medium reporting quality [estinate closeness （Ĉ）i ≥0.506]， while two departments， such as the respiratory department，were rated as unqualified （Ĉi＜0.278）. The remaining departments were all deemed qualified （0.278≤ Ĉi＜0.506）. CONCLUSIONS The developed game theory combinatorial weighting-TOPSIS-RSR method provides an effective approach for the quality evaluation of ADR reports， which not only balances subjective and objective weights but also facilitates comparisons among different departments. There is still room for improvement in the ADR report quality at the hospital.

Objective:To establish the model of acute kidney injury (AKI), search for more sensitive and reliable biomarkers.Methods:In April 2018, 100 male Wister rats aged 6 to 8 weeks were selected and randomly divided into experimental group (n=90) and control group (n=10). The experimental group was given Diachalefin (140 mg/kg body weight) by intragastric administration, while the control group was given saline intragastric administration. Ten rats in the experimental group were killed 0.5 h, 2 h, 6 h, 24 h, 3 d, 7 d, 14 d, 21 d and 28 d after intragastric administration, respectively. Serum creatinine (Cr), urea nitrogen (BUN) and uric acid (UA) were detected by automatic biochemical analyzer with 5 ml of blood from inferior vena cava puncture. Serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipid carrier protein (NGAL), kidney damage molecule-1 (KIM-1) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The data between groups were compared using two independent sample t tests.Results:The renal tissue structure of rats in the control group was not significantly abnormal, while the renal tissue cell damage of rats in the experimental group was obvious, which gradually increased with the extension of time in the early stage, and gradually recovered in the later stage. UA in experimental group reached its peak at 24 h after exposure and was still higher than that in control group at 14 d ( P<0.05), Cr reached its peak at 7 d, and then gradually decreased, and there was no statistical significance between experimental group and control group at 28 d ( P>0.05). BUN increased at 6 h after exposure and reached the highest value at 7~14 d ( P<0.05). Blood NGAL increased at 0.5 h after exposure, reached its peak at 24 h, continued to increase at 3, 7 and 14 days ( P<0.05), and began to decrease at 21 days. KIM-1 began to increase at 0.5 h, continued to peak at 24 h, 3 and 7 d after exposure, and began to decrease at 14 d, but it was still higher than that in control group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in TGF-β1 at each time point ( P>0.05). Western blot assay results: Compared with control group, there was no significant difference in the expression level of TGF-β1 in kidney tissue of experimental group ( P>0.05). NGAL increased gradually from 2 h and was higher at 7 and 14 d, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). KIM-1 increased at 2 h, decreased at 6 and 24 h, and increased again at 3 and 7 d. Conclusion:NGAL and KIM-1 can be used as early diagnostic biomarkers for diquat-induced acute kidney injury.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of the anterolateral thigh perforator flaps transplantation in repairing the wounds after radical resection of skin malignant tumors in the head, face, and neck.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From May 2020 to December 2023, 27 patients with skin malignant tumors in the head, face, and neck were admitted to the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery of the First People's Hospital of Kashi Prefecture, including 19 males and 8 females, aged 53 to 89 years. There were 21 cases with squamous cell carcinoma and 6 cases with basal cell carcinoma. The wound area after radical resection of tumors was 9.0 cm×7.0 cm to 27.0 cm×21.5 cm. The wounds were repaired with the lobulated, combined, or various forms of combination of the anterolateral thigh perforator flaps, and the harvesting flap area in single donor site was 10.0 cm×8.0 cm to 27.0 cm×11.0 cm. The wounds in the flap donor sites were closed by suturing in 26 patients, while the wound in the flap donor site in 1 patient was repaired with medium-thickness skin graft in the lower leg. The survival of the flap, and the occurrence of vascular crisis and infection were observed after surgery. During follow-up after surgery, the tumor recurrence, shape and texture of the flaps, and the function and scar formation of the limbs where the donor site was located were observed.Results:Only one patient developed venous crisis of the flap 27 hours after surgery, and the flap survived after vascular exploration and reanastomosis of the vein; the flaps in the other patients survived after surgery. One patient had an infected effusion under the flap after surgery, which healed after dressing change. After 6-36 months of postoperative follow-up, no tumor recurrence was observed; the flap had good appearance, texture, and elasticity; the limb where the donor site was located functioned normally, with only linear scars left.Conclusions:For complex wounds after radical resection of skin malignant tumors in the head, face, and neck, different forms of anterolateral thigh perforator flaps can be used to repair the wounds according to the condition of the wounds, and the wounds in the recipient sites heal well after surgery, with minimal damage to the donor site.
